Fungus the Bogeyman was first published in 1977.
Despite much interest over the years, Fungus the Bogeyman has never
been made for the screen… until now!
Fungus the Bogeyman inspired Sir Paul McCartney to write the album track
Bogey Music in 1980.
Bogeymen have four stomachs, 173 teeth (including the two all-important
fangs), six webbed fingers and toes, and very long tongues for catching
flies!
A Bogeyman's favourite drink in the whole wide world is slime, especially
the Green variety.
Favourite foods in the Bogeyman diet include Flaked Corns or Golden
Waxy Bits for breakfast, maggots, flies, dead slugs and snails, gripe
nuts, and solid or clotting sour milk.
Bogeymen stay dirty by wiping muck onto their armpits and brushing grime
onto their teeth.
The favourite sport of a Bogeyman is Bogeyball - but only if the pitch
is covered in five inches of filth.
Fungus the Bogeyman is the mascot of the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
Bogeymen have three nipples.
Bogeymen wear wet underwear under a layer of damp, woolly clothes. On
top of this they wear soggy leather jackets and trousers. The intention
is to keep their natural excretions in, and they cannot stand the thought
of drying out or losing their lovely whiff. They also wear Bogeyboots
and the idea of dry feet is a nightmare to all Bogeymen.
Fungus's toothpaste is called Pepsomuck.
